Detonator driver problems with CS...

[old.ruWank]

I upgraded recently to using the Detenator 4.12.01.0717 drivers for my Tnt2 ultra. Since upgrading from the 613 drivers HL hasn't been working too well

Basically, whenever I load the game (always has been from gamespy) everything works until I come to playing...then the windows mouse appears on the screen (can move it around etc) and the console won't close. The console screen has also been mapped over the screen 2 times, so I get to see no action or anything. I'm guessing this is a problem with the new drivers, has anyone else had problems with this version of the detonator drivers? I haven't tried a re-install of hl/cs yet, cuz I'd like to know if downgrading my drivers is the only possibly before doing so

Note: I upgraded to these references drivers purely cuz another game I play won't work without them - can't have the best of both worlds I guess

you need to reinstall

I had the same problem, if u reinstall HL and CS from scratch it should work fine, other than that get directx 8, that stopped a few graphical glitches i used to have with my tnt2 under detonator 3.

Thnx Chetan, I shall have to try a re-install then =)

Otherwise, try running it in OpenGL mode... i've had problems with half-life / cs in directx mode... (directx8 sux)

Always use OpenGL when you can, since its much better.

OpenGL ownes D3D

i agree always use opengl mode, but u still need directx8 installed.

just use the ones off the nvidia site - det 3

anything else is likely to be a beta / leaked release, which usually have problems

also, uninstall the previous ones first - according to the readme. i had probs till i eventually done this (nearly a year and i was just overwriting).
